Guest Post: The Aero Experience thanks our friend, Gary Chambers, for contributing his coverage of the 2024 Pumkin Drop event held on Saturday, October 26. The annual fall event was hosted by St. Charles Flying Service and the Missouri Wing of the Commemorative Air Force at St. Charles County (Smartt Field) Regional Airport. The Gateway Youth Aeronautical Foundation provided their popular exhibit, which included an F-4 Phantom jet cockpit, TH-67 helicopter and a squadron of pedal planes. Other aircraft, such as the Metro Air Support MD-500 helicopter, were also on static display for the large crowd to enjoy. Throughout the day, pumpkins rained down on the target as local pilots (and their bombardiers) vied for the closest hit. The highlight of the day was the flight of the Missouri Commemorative Air Force Wing's TMB Avenger, culminating with a pumpkin bomb salvo and several passes over the runway. Here we include a survey of the activity, courtesy of Gary Chambers.
